Gitlab OAuth Package

Introduction

The Gitlab OAuth Package is a JavaScript package designed to simplify the integration of Gitlab OAuth authentication into your web applications. It provides a set of utilities and components to streamline the authentication process using Gitlab OAuth.

Installation

You can install the Gitlab OAuth Package via npm:

npm install react-gitlab-oauth

or yarn

yarn add react-gitlab-oauth

Usage

Gitlab OAuth Provider

The GitlabOAuthProvider is a React context provider that provides the client_id of your Gitlab application to all components that consume it. This makes it easy to use the useGitlubLogin hook in your application.

import React from "react";
import { GitlabOAuthProvider } from "gitlab-oauth-package";

function App() {
  return (
    <GitlabOAuthProvider client_id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID">
      {/* Your application content */}
    </GitlabOAuthProvider>
  );
}

export default App;

Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID with your Gitlab OAuth application's client ID. You can get YOUR_CLIENT_ID in your Gitlub => Preferences => Applications => Add new application or here

useGitlabLogin Hook The package includes a useGitlubLogin hook allows you to authenticate with Gitlab and get the user's information. It takes a single argument, which is an object with the following properties:

• client_id: The client ID of your Gitlab application.
• onSuccess: A callback function that will be called with the user's information if the authentication is successful.
• onError: A callback function that will be called with an error if the authentication fails.

import { useGitlabLogin } from "gitlab-oauth-package";

function LoginPage() {
  const { data, error } = useGitlabLogin({
    onSuccess: (authData) => {
      // Handle successful authentication
    },
    onError: (error) => {
      // Handle authentication error
    },
  });

  // Render your login page UI

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Your login form */}
    </div>
  );
}

Make sure to provide appropriate error and success handlers to handle the authentication flow accordingly.
